Swarm 0 Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 I have just re-installed 3DSM 5 after a OS reinstall and have tried to model some weapons. When I try and get a background image to model off of Max freezes up and I have to ctl-alt-dlt it off.The problem happens as soon as I hit ok. My file is at c:/my documents/mark2 and is a .jpg image. I have it setup with "Match Bitmap", "Display Background", "Lock Zoom and Pan". All of this is in the left view port (although I don't think that matters at all). I am doing this after a clean install so no options have been changed at all (but I'm going to change units to cm now). Any help would really be great because I want to start my GR.net model and afew others Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tech 0 Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 Are all your drivers installed correctly? Is 3dsmax in OpenGL or 3d software? If 3d, did you choose directX 8 or 9 (You need to install the service pack for directX 9 support...) Did you try in the front view port? Did you install 3dsmax 5.1 update?

Swarm 0 Posted November 18, 2003 Author Share Posted November 18, 2003 (edited) Oh I forgot I put this here I managed to get it to work, all I have to do is jump into another view (such as perspective) and enlarge it to full screen for afew seconds and the image showsup or allows me to choice one fromt the options. Thanks for help though T.E.C-Leader! Edited November 18, 2003 by Swarm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
